Activists in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire joined groups around the world Sunday to protest genetically modified organisms, GMOs.

The movement is called March Against Monsanto. In Montpelier, people came out to the statehouse lawn to demonstrate. They held signs and called for a permanent boycott of GMOs and what they call harmful agro-chemicals.
